IMPROVEMENT IN BRUSHES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 129,205, dated July 16,1872.

Specification describing a new and useful Improvement in Brushes, invented by JAMES A. BELL, of Tyrone, in the county of Blair and State of Pennsylvania.

The invention will rst be fully described and then clearly pointed out in claim.

Figure l is a longitudinal sectional elevation of a brush and handle jointed together accordingto my improvemenand Fig. 2 is a plan view.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

In this example I have 'represented a universal joint of the kind known as the ball-andsocket joint, with the addition of the four studs or spurs A rising up from the shell of the socket high enough for the shank B of the ball C to be confined between them when the handle is held in the hands of the operator for working the brush, so that' the latter will be prevented from turning on the handle; but I propose to use any kind of a universal joint with any equivalent of the studs A-for instance, studs rising up from the base-plate D will do. E is a spring placed on the ball Havingthus described my inventiomlclaim n as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination of a brush having four.

studs, A, curved inwardly at the upper end, handle having shank B, provided with ball G at the end, and spring E placed between studs A, as and for the purpose described.
